Setup the Case

Setting up the case prior to installing anything is quite simple. Every case is different some complete completely setup, while others require you install the case fans. In the list you can expect to un-twist some twist ties and move the cables so they don't obstruct anything you're going to be installing. The most important task in this step is to install the motherboard standards. These are small screws or spacers that the motherboard will be mounted on. Most cases support multiple motherboard layouts so you'll want to make sure you place the standards in the correct case slots so you can later line up the screw holes in the motherboard.
